Not really, I'd hit that fucking pipe though.

Yeah but it gets expensive if you want to own any artwork in the style.

why couldn't they use the sense of perspective? come on

Yes, I love miniature painting. The Morgan bible paintings are my favourite.

I also think Valois era miniature painting is very powerful (book of the hours, etc).

>>32425 Actually - no. Too simple drawing and weird. As a meme and style - yes, I like it. I wish to see a Sega game with this style.

>>32432 Perspective was invented in 1463 by Leonardo da Vinci

>>32489 There exists a non-Sega game with that style.

>>32517 Hmmm... Name?

Behold. The Chronicon Pictum. >The chronicle contains 147 miniatures: 10 larger images, 29 images in columns, smaller images painted in medallion shapes at the bottom of 4 pages, 99 images enclosed in initials, and 5 initials without images. In addition, there are 82 pieces of ornamental art painted in the margins Over 80Mb gonna try upload it here, but link if it doesn't work out: https://web.archive.org/web/20120304111134/http://konyv-e.hu/pdf/Chronica_Picta.pdf There might be a swell online version somewhere.

>>32438 The Duc de Berry illustrations are great. I love me some colorful medieval times. Morgan bible and the froissart chronicles are also beautiful, as well as the swiss chronicles. My weakest spot are renaissance engravings, tho. Nothing beats a nice Erhard Schön or Urs Graf.

>>32688 >Duerer_tod_und_landsknecht The weird thing I often notice about the past is an acceptance of fate. If this image was made 500 years later you would expect the landsknecht to either snatch the hourglass, try to cheat death or use the knowledge of his time of death for his advantage - reverting 'the man destined to hang can never drown' to one of human agency. Me? I'd tell myself that I can do things later and that there's still plenty of time so that I ultimately spend my last days on the internet (with marginally more cake consumption)

>>32688 A nice niche topic for the supreme assburgers are the ever so slight differences between Reisläufer and Landsknecht, who look pretty much indistinguishable for the untrained eye, but hated each other with passion unknown until then.

>>32697 In many danse macabre-motifs, people are scared and fearful, but yeah, ultimately they have to accept their fate. Its a common theme from songs of this era to emphasize that nothing, absolutely nothing can save you from death, neither faith nor richess nor power. In most of the Totentanz series, the poor, sick and old willingly accept their fate, while the rich and powerful scream and kick and mourn themselfes. "Oh König, Kaiser, Fürst und Herr Fürchtet den Schnitter sehr! Der Herzensbetrüber, je länger, je lieber Macht alles herunter, tut keinem besonders" "Oh King, Emperor, Prince and Lord be afraid of the reaper! The sorrower of hears, the longer, the dearer, he cuts everything down, treats no one special" "Kein Mensch auf Erd uns sagen kann, wann wir von hinnen müssen; wann der Tod kommt und klopfet an, so muss man ihm aufschließen. Er nimmt mit Gwalt hin Jung und Alt, thut sich vor Niemand scheuen: Des Königs Stab bricht er bald ab und führt ihn an den Reihen." "No man on earth can tell us when we have to go once deaths comes to knock on your door, you have to unlock for him. He takes by force the young and old, doesnt shy away from anyone. He breaks apart the king's staff and leads him to the dance" I dont really know of any modern songs, tales and so on where people are really able to cheat a personified death, tho.

the Icelandic manuscripts are great

>>32688 Woodcuts or engravings?

I love our Schilling chronicles, as a Lucernian particularly the work of Diebold Schilling the Younger. Very colourful and informative (for example on the Burgundian Wars). Care must be taken with his depiction of earlier history, as those scenes were still depicted in contemporary style.

>>32544 Pentiment.

>>32910 Most of those are engravings. The second one is a woodcut, i think, but its sometimes hard to see. The originals are really, really small. The original of Dürer's Knight, Death, and the Devil is only postcard-size. >>33064 >as those scenes were still depicted in contemporary style. This is one of my favourite things about late medieval art. All these modern equipped soldiers guarding Jesus' tomb, there is a burgundian tapestry depicting Caesar's wars, and he is obviously depicted as a burgundian noble in full armor. Also I really love the bears.
